SOPHIE & WILL
Are Getting Married
THE NEW MR. & MRS. MARTIN
We can't wait to celebrate our love and union with you.
Sophie and Will met in the summer of 2020 at a mutual friends' birthday party, where Sophie had texted out the invites... Convenient for Will!
We spent all night talking about family, growing up, life, and instantly felt a connection.
After two years of dating and talking about a future together, Will was finally able to meet the most important person in Sophie's life, her big brother, Vince. She was nervous that her big brother would be protective — he had high standards for his little sister — but Vince instantly connected with Will.
They played tennis together all weekend during a family reunion.
Sophie feels that the timing of Vince's passing signifies that he just needed to know his little sister was in good hands, before he left this life.
He will be missed during the weekend of our Wedding weekend, but we know his energy and spirit will be dancing around us!
